One thing that never gets addressed in these situations is how we deal with mental illnesses in this country. W. Virginia, Ft Hood, Tucson all the same people.

Mental illnesses are easy to diagnose but require expensive LONG term care. Our health system seems to be built to extract as much money out of people during their last year of so of life while totally ignoring young people with long term health issue's. We'd rather throw them out in the streets for society to deal with. And I don't see this getting any better.

As for political fallouts hopefully people just take a deep breath and realize that Government cannot keep us safe. The above tragedies are simply the cost of a free people. Be it terrorists, foreign and domestic, or whackjobs until they show themselves there is not much we can do. It's how we act after the act that determines our collective fate!

I used to like listening to the Brain Suits show. He has a couple of life rules.

#1. Bring a gun to a gun fight.
#2. Bring friends with guns to a gun fight.

I purchased my first CWP after Columbine when I realized I walked my dog everyday past two schools. Since then I've only been "spotted" twice. Once by an undercover Secret Service agent, "If I see you here Thursday you will leave that gun at home," and once by an ATF agent, "So ah what you carrying there son." Both where very cool and respectful but damn I was surprised at how easily they spotted it!

Sad that Pols never let these things pass by without some new F-ing restriction on our lives. Never waste a crisis you pukes. Dont we have a viable third party yet.

'Twas a terrible tragedy from all perspectives. Sad that the usual polarized mouthpieces trot out all the same old schit yet again. Even sadder that the death of a 9yo has become political in focus. I do like the new one though, "crosshairs" attributed to somebunny. Said "crosshairs" are about a ubiquitous on engineering/architectural drawings, maps and the like as cork soakers in congress.

My thoughts and prayers to those that have suffered due the the tragedy in Tucson, and those that will suffer as a result of the equally delusional....

Do you realize what kind of jack-ass you are? You obviously do not think things through before you post.

That neon green fanny pack is usually a dead give-away.

Dave, this is the same creep that thinks torturing Dogs is no big deal. This is the type of POS that we might read about in the news...Get help Baithumper.

Vick was convicted and went to prison, WTF more do you want from the guy? He killed dogs not kids, yes it's screwed up, but a little perspective could go a long way.

This is what you wrote:

Vick killed dogs, BFD!
I'm glad the seahogs won, but don't see them beating the Bears.


Now it's fuked up? which is it?

Yes it was fuked up, he killed dogs, Is it really that big a deal? He went to prison and paid fines. You rooted for the ducks even though one of their players choked his girlfriend. Kill dogs or choke/strangle a human being, which is really worse? A little perspective goes a long ways.

Ugh...

You make killing dogs seem worse.

I didn't root for the Ducks.

Now that this thread's been successfully hijacked, lets bring on the kittens!

this would make a great thursday thread! i wonder what happened to those..............

I'll tell you what happened Mike. You have been asleep at the wheel. I know you can't surf from work so get your azz busy on Wednesday nights and put out for us.
Bob told me he wants more hot/mostly naked chicks on the board.
Said he's also a fan of sick humor so do with that what you will.
If Fishgal sends you one of those pm's disregard. She's just kidding.

No cake please.

According to Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy( bitch from NY) we also have a pro-gun Senate, even though it is Democrat controled.

So we might be OK, we will see just how fast these get pushed .

When you say "we", realize that many people don't feel like they're part of that "we"...

Fish on...
